ARCHIVE TITLES
The Albums listed below were released in the 1980s or earlier.
Usually they were published as Cassette-tape and Music Book
which went through several 'editions' before being discontinued
as stock ran out and level of demand didn't justify further production.

A few copies of some tapes and music books that have been out of stock
for some time in Australia are still available from Ireland, through Peter Kearney. These items were left with a friend, the last times Peter toured in Ireland/ UK 1989/98.
